Perennial salvias are a mainstay of mixed borders, with their summer-long displays of spiky, nectar-rich flowers.
Salvia 'Clotted Cream' bears large, creamy white, open-mouthed blooms throughout summer, in contrast with mid-green, sage-scented foliage. It's perfect for planting near a bench or path, where you can enjoy its pretty blooms and fragrant foliage. The flowers are extremely attractive bees and other pollinators.
For best results grow Salvia 'Clotted Cream' in well-drained soil, in full sun. Plants may need protection in extreme winters.
